The participants in CPISRA World Championship & 21st RaceRunners Open Cup 2017

An athlete must be at least 15 years old or turn 15 in the year of the competition to compete in the senior CPISRA World Championship & 21st RaceRunners Open Cup 2017. Athletes must be in cerebral palsy class RR1, RR2, or RR3. Other disability groups or classes can only compete in the Open Cup for class RR4. If the athlete is under 15 years old, the athlete can participate with other junior RaceRunners. We can exceptionally promote athletes that are 9 years old (if they turn 10 in 2017), to 14 years old from junior to senior if we see a competitive advantage in the promotion.

Event program

In order to provide the participants with an overview of the event program prior to the CPISRA World Championship & 21st RaceRunners Open Cup 2017, the final event program including race time estimates, will be published a week prior to the CPISRA World Championship & 21st RaceRunners Camp & Open Cup 2017. For us to be able to do this, we unfortunately cannot allow any changes to the athletes’ four chosen disciplines after the third entry form has been completed.

After the second entry form, all participating countries will receive an overview of their athletes’ chosen disciplines. Any changes to these can be made up until the third entry form.

Each athlete can choose to compete in a maximum of four disciplines.
